I'm having problems with the points of these Peco turnouts (N Scale) failing as far as electrical contacts. I have used 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and...
The other problem was Atlas want-to-be magnetic couplers that didn't work. I had to change out 17 pair of truck mounted Accumate couplers because...
I received the MT magnet set (2) and discovered that the N & S poles are centered around the sides of the magnets which makes sense based on the...
That's N scale?? In the upper right, is that a magnet? It seemed everyone else suggests outside the rails. :unsure: I'm going to order another...
When the cars do separate they do it just like the prototype, gravity takes over afterwards. You are familiar with just how a 'hump' works? As...
But that is for 'flat' switching which doesn't apply here. 'Humps' don't work that way. BTW, the 'poles' for these magnets are the top and...
Did you go to Aztec's site??
That link is good. Just what are you looking for? Did you scroll down?
I received my 1st set (of 2 sizes) of Neo magnets I ordered from China (a week earlier than the earliest estimate no less). I tried these Neo...
I moved the magnet up again another 1/2 to 3/4 inch just past the crest and it improved uncoupling. Up from around 25% uncoupling to around 75% of...
No cats, even when I had one, he wasn't allowed near the layout, besides it's too high to jump.
Something other than an animals whiskers?
No cats, but I do have brushes. No real idea just exactly how to "plant" them.
I'll have to just wait until I get those magnets I ordered before I make any other changes. When you mention speed, there also is a 'speed'...
Those magnets will fit between the rails w/o shorting?
I thought about the magnet, but like I stated, free hand (no cars attached) the knuckle does freely open. This magnet I assume was from MT that I...
Most cars are MT truck mounted couplers, the others are Atlas accumate. Long story short; the 'trip pin' of the lead car doesn't appear to be...
How about the slippery rails? That chart just addresses the dielectric properties, not necessary the cleaning abilities. The best example was...
I prepped it with 'wet water' (IPA & water). The glue had some IPA mixed in (maybe 15%) also instead of dish soap.
I used Mineral Spirits, no lubrication involved to clean off. I saw that list some time ago and found it interesting what NOT to use!
